Stuart Dallas: ‘Best thing to come out of Cookstown since the sausage’ says Carl Frampton

Stuart Dallas is “the best thing to come out of Cookstown since the sausage” according to champion Belfast boxer Carl Frampton following two impressive goals for Leeds United last night.

The Northern Ireland footballer’s scores put an end to Birmingham City’s championship play-off ambitions in a 2-1 victory for his club last night.

Frampton, who just this week had his WBA world super-bantam weight title stripped after ruling out a fight against Guillermo Rigondeaux by 27 July, took to Twitter this morning to compliment the Cookstown man.

Dallas scored a double in last night’s match to earn Leeds United their first win in five matches.

The winger scored in both halves to cap an excellent Leeds performance, with the defeat leaving Birmingham nine points off the play-offs with five matches to go - and their game in hand wasted.
